Abstract: The tale of mystery story Green Scarf contains abundant cultural and religious significances.The theme of “green scarf” and “gain enlightens and be free” has a definite lineage with Buddha culture that was the integrative embodiment of Chinese and Japanese folk tales,civic culture and Buddhism in the era of Edo period.Through the further reflection to the view of the conflicts between Buddhism and lust,Zen and Tantra,based on answering the three questions of Professor Ootani Masao,the paper thinks the novel takes “Buddha and demon unities” as the core,and Buddhist narrative as fundamental objective in order to teach people to get rid of the desire,language persistent and law enforcement.

Key words: Green Scarf, Chinese and Japanese culture, Buddhist narrative, Buddha and Demon Unity
